I'm a guitarist/singer and I'm looking to record some acoustic stuff. I have a condenser mic, but I would need an audio interface. I'm not looking for a fancy setup, just bare bones really. Any recommendations for an open source audio workshop? What's my cheapest quality option for an audio interface?

Thanks!

Don't forget the acoustics of the room you're in and perhaps get a pop-filter for your mic. These are simple things you can do that don't cost much. I saw a video once where the guy used a bunch of towels to dampen echos. Worked pretty well.

This will be in a my basement with carpeting and a drop ceiling. Probably a 10' x 12' area with 3.5 walls. If it's not sounding good enough I might invest in either panels or an isolation shield.

Copy that. Just thought I'd mention it.

If you go down the panels route, DIY styrofoam sound diffuser panels can be a fun (and cheap) project if you're into that kinda thing!
